Arithmetic Inserters
All the `operator<<` functions (aka formatted output functions) have some common behavior. Each starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_ostream::sentry. This can have several effects, concluding with the setting of a status flag; see the sentry documentation for more. If the sentry status is good, the function tries to generate whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument. If an exception is thrown during insertion, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state without causing an ios_base::failure to be thrown. The original exception will then be rethrown.

Unformatted Output Functions
All the unformatted output functions have some common behavior. Each starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_ostream::sentry. This has several effects, concluding with the setting of a status flag; see the sentry documentation for more. If the sentry status is good, the function tries to generate whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument. If an exception is thrown during insertion, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state. If badbit is on in the stream's exceptions mask, the exception will be rethrown without completing its actions.

## Detailed Description

### template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
class std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >

Controlling output.

This is the base class for all output streams. It provides text formatting of all builtin types, and communicates with any class derived from basic_streambuf to do the actual output.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::basic_ostream | ( | streambuf_type * | sb | ) | `[inline, explicit]`

| Base constructor. This ctor is almost never called by the user directly, rather from derived classes' initialization lists, which pass a pointer to their own stream buffer. Definition at line 105 of file ostream.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
virtual std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::~basic_ostream | ( |  | ) | `[inline, virtual]`

| Base destructor. This does very little apart from providing a virtual base dtor. Definition at line 114 of file ostream.

## Member Function Documentation

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
bool std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::bad | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

| Fast error checking. Returns: True if the badbit is set. Note that other iostate flags may also be set. Definition at line 197 of file basic_ios.h.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
void std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::clear | ( | iostate | state = `goodbit` | ) | `[inherited]`

  | [Re]sets the error state. Parameters:
  | state | The new state flag(s) to set.
See std::ios_base::iostate for the possible bit values. Most users will not need to pass an argument. Definition at line 39 of file basic_ios.tcc. References std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::exceptions(), std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::rdbuf(), and std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::rdstate().

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
basic_ios< CharT, Traits > & std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::copyfmt | ( | const basic_ios< CharT, Traits > & | __rhs | ) | `[inherited]`

  | Copies fields of __rhs into this. Parameters:
  | __rhs | The source values for the copies.
Returns: Reference to this object. All fields of __rhs are copied into this object except that rdbuf() and rdstate() remain unchanged. All values in the pword and iword arrays are copied. Before copying, each callback is invoked with erase_event. After copying, each (new) callback is invoked with copyfmt_event. The final step is to copy exceptions().

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
bool std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::eof | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

| Fast error checking. Returns: True if the eofbit is set. Note that other iostate flags may also be set. Definition at line 176 of file basic_ios.h.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
void std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::exceptions | ( | iostate | __except | ) | `[inline, inherited]`

  | Throwing exceptions on errors. Parameters:
  | except | The new exceptions mask.
By default, error flags are set silently. You can set an exceptions mask for each stream; if a bit in the mask becomes set in the error flags, then an exception of type std::ios_base::failure is thrown. If the error flage is already set when the exceptions mask is added, the exception is immediately thrown. Try running the following under GCC 3.1 or later:
      #include <iostream>
      #include <fstream>
      #include <exception>

      int main()
      {
          std::set_terminate (__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);

          std::ifstream f ("/etc/motd");

          std::cerr << "Setting badbit\n";
          f.setstate (std::ios_base::badbit);

          std::cerr << "Setting exception mask\n";

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
iostate std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::exceptions | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

| Throwing exceptions on errors. Returns: The current exceptions mask. This changes nothing in the stream. See the one-argument version of exceptions(iostate) for the meaning of the return value. Definition at line 208 of file basic_ios.h. Referenced by std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::clear(), and std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::copyfmt().

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
bool std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::fail | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

| Fast error checking. Returns: True if either the badbit or the failbit is set. Checking the badbit in fail() is historical practice. Note that other iostate flags may also be set.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< char, Traits >::operator void *(), std::basic_ios< char, Traits >::operator!(), std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits >::seekg(), std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::seekp(), std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits >::tellg(), and std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::tellp().

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
char_type std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::fill | ( | char_type | ch | ) | `[inline, inherited]`

  | Sets a new "empty" character. Parameters:
  | ch | The new character.
Returns: The previous fill character. The fill character is used to fill out space when P+ characters have been requested (e.g., via setw), Q characters are actually used, and Q<P. It defaults to a space (' ') in the current locale. Definition at line 376 of file basic_ios.h.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
char_type std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::fill | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags | ( | fmtflags | __fmtfl | ) | `[inline, inherited]`

  | Setting new format flags all at once. Parameters:
  | fmtfl | The new flags to set.
Returns: The previous format control flags. This function overwrites all the format flags with fmtfl. Definition at line 517 of file ios_base.h.

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

| Access to format flags. Returns: The format control flags for both input and output. Definition at line 507 of file ios_base.h. Referenced by std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::copyfmt(), std::num_get< CharT, InIter >::do_get(), std::num_put< CharT, OutIter >::do_put(), std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::operator<<(), std::basic_ostream< char >::operator<<(), std::operator<<(), and std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits >::sentry::sentry().

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::flush | ( |  | ) |

| Synchronizing the stream buffer. Returns: *this If `rdbuf()` is a null pointer, changes nothing. Otherwise, calls `rdbuf()->pubsync()`, and if that returns -1, sets badbit. Definition at line 382 of file ostream.tcc. References std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::rdbuf(). Referenced by std::flush().

locale std::ios_base::getloc | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

| Locale access. Returns: A copy of the current locale. If `imbue(loc)` has previously been called, then this function returns `loc`. Otherwise, it returns a copy of `std::locale()`, the global C++ locale. Definition at line 649 of file ios_base.h. Referenced by std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::copyfmt(), std::money_put< CharT, OutIter >::do_put(), std::operator>>(), and std::ws().

| Fast error checking. Returns: True if no error flags are set. A wrapper around rdstate. Definition at line 166 of file basic_ios.h. Referenced by std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::sentry::sentry(), and std::basic_istream< CharT, Traits >::sentry::sentry().

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
locale std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::imbue | ( | const locale & | __loc | ) | `[inherited]`

  | Moves to a new locale. Parameters:
  | loc | The new locale.
Returns: The previous locale. Calls `ios_base::imbue(loc)`, and if a stream buffer is associated with this stream, calls that buffer's `pubimbue(loc)`. Additional l10n notes are at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/22_locale/howto.html Reimplemented from std::ios_base. Definition at line 127 of file basic_ios.tcc.

| All setup is performed here. This is called from the public constructor. It is not virtual and cannot be redefined. Definition at line 139 of file basic_ios.tcc.

long& std::ios_base::iword | ( | int | __ix | ) | `[inline, inherited]`

  | Access to integer array. Parameters:
  | __ix | Index into the array.
Returns: A reference to an integer associated with the index. The iword function provides access to an array of integers that can be used for any purpose. The array grows as required to hold the supplied index. All integers in the array are initialized to 0. The implementation reserves several indices. You should use xalloc to obtain an index that is safe to use. Also note that since the array can grow dynamically, it is not safe to hold onto the reference. Definition at line 693 of file ios_base.h.

const locale& std::ios_base::M_getloc | ( |  | ) | const`[inline, inherited]`

| Locale access. Returns: A reference to the current locale. Like getloc above, but returns a reference instead of generating a copy. Definition at line 659 of file ios_base.h.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
void std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::M_write | ( | const char_type * | s,
|  | streamsize | n
| ) | `[inline]`

  | Simple insertion. Parameters:
  | c | The character to insert.
Returns: *this Tries to insert c. Note: This function is not overloaded on signed char and unsigned char. Definition at line 286 of file ostream.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits>
char std::basic_ios< CharT, Traits >::narrow | ( | char_type | c,
|  | char | __dfault
| ) | const`[inherited]`

  | Squeezes characters. Parameters:
  | c | The character to narrow.
  | dfault | The character to narrow.
Returns: The narrowed character. Maps a character of `char_type` to a character of `char`, if possible. Returns the result of
        std::use_facet<ctype<char_type> >(getloc()).narrow(c,dfault)

basic_ostream< CharT, Traits > & std::basic_ostream< CharT, Traits >::operator<< | ( | streambuf_type * | sb | ) |

  | Extracting from another streambuf. Parameters:
  | sb | A pointer to a streambuf
This function behaves like one of the basic arithmetic extractors, in that it also constructs a sentry object and has the same error handling behavior. If sb is NULL, the stream will set failbit in its error state. Characters are extracted from sb and inserted into `*this` until one of the following occurs: the input stream reaches end-of-file, insertion into the output sequence fails (in this case, the character that would have been inserted is not extracted), or an exception occurs while getting a character from sb, which sets failbit in the error state If the function inserts no characters, failbit is set.

Returns: The previous stream buffer. Associates a new buffer with the current stream, and clears the error state. Due to historical accidents which the LWG refuses to correct, the I/O library suffers from a design error: this function is hidden in derived classes by overrides of the zero-argument `rdbuf()`, which is non-virtual for hysterical raisins. As a result, you must use explicit qualifications to access this function via any derived class. For example:

int std::ios_base::xalloc | ( |  | ) | throw ()`[static, inherited]`

| Access to unique indices. Returns: An integer different from all previous calls. This function returns a unique integer every time it is called. It can be used for any purpose, but is primarily intended to be a unique index for the iword and pword functions. The expectation is that an application calls xalloc in order to obtain an index in the iword and pword arrays that can be used without fear of conflict. The implementation maintains a static variable that is incremented and returned on each invocation. xalloc is guaranteed to return an index that is safe to use in the iword and pword arrays.
